Hoiskers are 8 point favorites at home against Rutgers
- Thread starter scarletred
- Start date
Gonna go unbeaten at home in conference. Roster still kinda feels like island of misfit toys. Very impressive feat. Would think 10 seed in tourney at the worst even at 0-2 finish
I hope for a 10 (or 7). I want no part of that 8/9 line.
Yes that would be the most ideal spot. Finishing 3rd in conference would also be the best landing spot
Shockingly, Allick’s FT percentage is actually better than Rodman’s.
If only Satt was anywhere this level we’d be partying
Ugly win is still a win. Now go get one at Michigan.
They were clearly better than Rutgers. Nice for a change. It's been a good year for Nebrasketball.
That should clinch an NCAA tourney bid.
These buttholes on the B1G network act like it’s not a lock
The carelessness of some of the passes would drive a coach nuts. If they would improve the fundamentals of that area it would give this team a chance to achieve some things that most people didn't think would be possible.
Remember watching him play....them old Celtic teams were magical.
I think we're a lock. However, if we lose to Michigan and lose the first one in the Big Ten tournament, we could end up in the play-in game.
I just can't seen an 11-win Big Ten team with 4 Quad 1 wins, and 3 Quad 2 wins, being left out. Especially since it's a pretty weak bubble this year. Virginia, Wake Forest, New Mexico, FAU, Colorado, Utah - these teams do not have better resumés than we do.,
I used to be a die hard Celtics fan back in the day. Celtics/Lakers rivalry was so amazing in the 80s.
Craziest thing is that I learned how to correctly spell Kevin McHale’s name tonight. For some reason I always thought there was a K in his last name? Weird…
FYI Michigan has lost 7 in a row and 12 of their last 13. I know we are terrible on the road, but we should much more motivated to win that game.
Double bye is the motivation in winning next Sunday..
Yeah Decourcey or whatever the **** his name is, is such a d-bag. Can't stand listening to that guy. Sucks off Michigan St, but bags on us.
I agree with John Beilein - would prefer to play Thursday rather than sit. But, you obviously don’t want to lose to Michigan when they’re having an awful season. Huskers need another road win to solid their tourney resume.
I get what Beilein is saying - get a win and be ‘game ready’ on Friday for a 4/5 matchup. However, there is no guarantee NU will win a Thursday game. They’d be away from home against a team with nothing to lose and everything to gain that most likely would already have beaten NU this season.
Best case scenario is obviously to work up to the #3 seed. Winning Sunday and staying at #4 works too. The 4/5 game on Friday is gonna be tough no matter who we play - unless we luck out and face a team playing their 3 game in 3 days.
Yes there are plenty of good reasons to pull for a win on Sunday, and absolutely don't want lost to Michigan. I just don't care that much about the double bye.
Doesn't the double bye ensure we can't add a bad loss to the resume? So basically only upside with the double bye? A "good loss" doesn't necessarily hurt us?
I don't think it happens but Losing the next 2 games and being left out of the tournament would be something that would only happen to NU.
I don't see how it ensures that. If we are concerned about losing on Thursday as the #5 seed, couldn't that same opponent win on Thursday and beat NU on Friday?
Again, I definitely want to beat Michigan and get the highest seed possible. I just think the so-called advantage of the double bye is way overblown.
On the other hand a bad Michigan loss could hurt our seeding in the NCAA dance..
As of now, if we were 5th seed we play the winner of the Maryland Rutgers’ game.
Rather want to avoid that scenario all together.
It’s a huge advantage if we want to win the whole thing, but I know that’s probably a bit wishful thinking.
